Technical Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, in particular, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising: receiving first downlink control information (DCI) including downlink scheduling information and information on a HARQ-ACK feedback type; transmitting a HARQ-ACK feedback regarding a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the downlink scheduling information, on the basis of the HARQ-ACK feedback type indicating a first type; and delaying transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback regarding the first PDSCH or transmitting a previously-received HARQ-ACK feedback regarding a second PDSCH, on the basis of the HARQ-ACK feedback type indicating a second type.

10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A communication method of an apparatus in a wireless communication system, the communication method comprising: transmitting first downlink control information (DCI), wherein a type of a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook is determined to be a specific type based on a 1-bit flag based on the first DCI; and receiving HARQ-ACK information for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, wherein the PDSCH is scheduled by second DCI and the second DCI is transmitted before the first DCI, wherein, based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, the first DCI does not schedule a PDSCH and whether the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted is determined based on a specific field included in the first DCI, and wherein the specific field is different from the 1-bit flag.

2

2. The communication method according to claim 1, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is received based on transmission timing information included in the first DCI.

3

3. The communication method according to claim 1, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is received in an unlicensed band (U-band).

4

4. The communication method according to claim 1, wherein the first DCI is transmitted during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration configured for the apparatus.

5

5. An apparatus configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory operably connectable to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising: transmitting first downlink control information (DCI), wherein a type of a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook is determined to be a specific type based on a 1-bit flag based on the first DCI; and receiving HARQ-ACK information for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, wherein the PDSCH is scheduled by second DCI and the second DCI is transmitted before the first DCI, wherein, based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, the first DCI does not schedule a PDSCH and whether the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted is determined based on a specific field included in the first DCI, and wherein the specific field is different from the 1-bit flag.

6

6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is received based on transmission timing information included in the first DCI.

7

7. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is received in an unlicensed band (U-band).

8

8. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the operations further comprise: transmitting the first DCI during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration configured for the apparatus.

9

9. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the apparatus includes an autonomous driving vehicle communicable with at least one of a user equipment (UE), a network, or another autonomous driving vehicle other than the apparatus.

10

10. A non-transitory memory operably connectable to a processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control an apparatus to perform operations in a wireless communication system, the operations comprising: transmitting first downlink control information (DCI) wherein a type of a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook is determined to be a specific type based on a 1-bit flag based on the first DCI; and receiving HARQ-ACK information for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, wherein the PDSCH is scheduled by second DCI and the second DCI is transmitted before the first DCI, wherein, based on the type of the HARQ-ACK codebook being the specific type, the first DCI does not schedule a PDSCH and whether the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted is determined based on a specific field included in the first DCI, and wherein the specific field is different from the 1-bit flag.
